Bananas and strawberries are two particularly egregious fruits, as one can't even make alcohol out of them.

Bananas and strawberries contain natural sugars so you can technically use yeast to make ethanol from them.  Even if roughly 100g of fruit only yields 3-5g of sugar.

Oh, come on, that's an useless technicality. It's like that oil in deep-water fields that can't actually be tapped. Who drills bananas or strawberries? Nobody. And what would be the taste? I've never tried an ethanol cocktail, but I doubt I'd like it. Strawberry liquor? Please. Bananas and strawberries just don't fill tanks, that's the sad truth.

Err... in fact, they were much worse than I remembered. I think I may have doomed the banana  :-\

An outstanding comeback by the Strawberry!  Not bad for a fruit that's really just an Accessory Fruit.  That's right folks the seed of the strawberry is the actual fruit (not the juicy red part).  Imposter I tell you.

Proof positive that the banana is the superior fruit (please don't ask to do any actual research defending the botanical fruit worthiness of the banana ::) ).

Now off your butts an earn some votes you yellow bellied, no good banana heads!

Yup

If we're talking fresh fruit, then I'll have to go with bananas since I'm allergic to fresh strawberries. But strawberry flavor > banana flavor.

Is there some sort of bias scale that can be applied to GroverTheClover's vote given the fact he has a dancing banana as his avatar?    ;D

He'll get his when I start the Carrot vs Pepper thread

It's like when my daughters ask me which one of them I love more



You might need a three way battle royale.

Carrot v. Pepper v. Banana...

I can feel the excitement in the air.

Wow, what a comeback by strawberries since I last checked.

People (Roy Hobbs)  ;D, this is not a beauty contest, and it is what's inside that counts more. Bananas are great for athletes, stop them from cramping, provides good energy and overall better for the body. C'on vote for bananas people!!! Or I'll go bananas over y'all (see you can't say that with strawberries).
Anything is possible!!!

Apparently it is.  Just can't believe people are being conned by this superficial fruit (literally, see my post below).

I've lost my faith in humanity (again)

"People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids?...It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice....Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out." Rodney King May 1, 1992


In the spirit of Rodney King (who will be appearing this year on Celebrity Rehab - can't make this sh*t up)

I offer the following -
Easy Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

strawberry banana smoothies are some of the easiest mixes t o make. An easy strawberry banana smoothie recipe usually consists of nore more than a few strawberries, one ripe banana and some type of liquid like milk or juice. An example of easy strawberry banana smoothie recipe is listed below:

Ingredients:
6 large strawberries
1 banana
1 cup of whole milk

Directions:
Just blend all ingredients till smoothy texture is formed and all fruits well blended. See how easy a mix that was, no need to add any extra flavoring because the fruits provide all the great taste in this smoothie.

It's very painful for me to delve back into one of the more disappointing chapters of my life. 

At least one person has come to his/her senses.

Faithfully, a banana partisan

LOL!!

No, I revived the battle - it's just that I never knew when one peels back the skin of a banana that there was a bottle of beer under there.  That made it a no brainer for me in switching my vote.
